YRSCommercial (Your Reflection Studio) and our concern for the environment.

Who are we doing our bit to improve
our impact on the environment?

Our studio is a very green environment - and it is the philosophy of the studio. Printing is kept to a minimum unless to order, we run a total paperless office, you will be emailed invoices and statements and only those who have poor internet connections and make this clear to us will receive printed alternatives.

Waste levels are monitored and a target of less than 3% has been set. We only use PC towers when we can which are upgraded. We keep laptops to a minimum and usually only used for onsite or remote shoots - we believe laptops have limited long-term value as they have limited upgrade options and so you end up with a pile of them as they grow old adding to the landfill. We only use a tablet as a display tool and it is kept to that level, so it will rarely be replaced unless very old or faulty. Upgrades reduce the impact on the environment hugely through waste reduction and the unnecessary throwaway society that consumables create. Waste levels that do exist are managed though composting, septic tank management and selective landfill use.

The business partly runs on solar energy and is constantly moving to a more environmental friendly working condition.

Most assets are procured second-hand to reduce carbon footprint and our travel is managed to again reduce our CO2 or polution contribution to the environment. We try whereever possible to use recycled materials in the studio from toilet paper to ink cartridges and whereever possible use recyclable packaging - not plastic. The studio building is is 200 years old, so we can happy announce it's second hand! It has been extensively insulated to reduce our carbon footprint and the water comes from its own bore hole!

On a more extreme level as a way to offset our carbon generated mainly through travel to and from clients we are now planting trees in the five acres that surround the studio in Scotland. A modest programme of tree planting has now started and it will result in a small glade of trees some 400 to 500 in number. This will be a selection of broad leave and coniferous trees which will not only do it's bit to help reduce carbon, it will also try and help reduce the impact of mankind on the landscape and its wildlife.

As a certain retailer keeps reminding us... every little helps!
